Italy and England both look set to field experimental lineups as the two famous nations meet in an international friendly at Juventus Stadium in Turin on Tuesday.
Both coaches have already confirmed there will be a number of changes to their usual starting XIs—with Azzurri boss Antonio Conte going as far as to announce his likely lineup in Monday's pre-match press conference. His Three Lions counterpart Roy Hodgson has not quite gone to those lengths, although he has nevertheless acknowled

International week has just a couple of more days to run before players return to their respective clubs, but we still have some big games left to bring you on Bleacher Report. That includes coverage of this friendly on Tuesday evening between Netherlands and Spain.
The two sides met in the 2010 World Cup Final and again in the 2014 World Cup group stage, with the Dutch going on to reach the semis in the more recent event as Spain crashed out early and had to begin to rebuild.

Borussia Dortmund may have only just pulled themselves away from certain relegation and a complete crisis throughout the club, yet another test lies down the road when the transfer window opens this summer, as a whole host of clubs will come looking for Mats Hummels.
The central defender has always been one of Jurgen Klopp's most loyal servants, yet in a recent interview with Kicker, which was translated and reported by Sky Sports, he was far more open to a move away from the club.

Gareth Bale showed that he's a man of many talents.
The Welsh wizard—who was recently named the world's fastest player with a football at his feet—showed that he's got a decent touch on the basketball court, too.
Bale participated in the NBA's UK half-court challenge, and after making three shots, he won the competition, beating the likes of Demba Ba, Petr Cech and more.
He's shown in the past that he's no stranger to hoops and has an affinity for the sport.

During a week in which Freddy Adu—once referred to as the "next Pele" during his tender teenage years, per Richard Arrowsmith of Mail Online—signed for Finnish club Kuopion Palloseura to fully cement his fall from grace, you'd think some perspective would be applied when assessing the recent achievements of Harry Kane.
The English media are renowned for hyping up young players prematurely, and former Manchester City player Rodney Marsh has adhered to that stereotype spectacularly by

AC Milan fans have been crying out for more investment at their club—well, it looks like their prayers might have been answered. However, as sponsorship deals go, this is not exactly the most "macho" option out there. The Serie A have announced a link-up with Sanrio, the global company behind Hello Kitty.It is a "co-branding partnership," and the club at least seem quite excited. Commercial director Jaap Kalma said:

The standings tell us they have made no improvements whatsoever. AC Milan sit in eighth place in Serie A at the time of writing—exactly where they were a year ago.
A deeper look at the statistics between this team and last-season's edition does not reveal much of a change. Even with new players, Milan have the same problems. They are still paying a high price for mediocrity, and attendance is shrinking to all-time lows.
The lowest official numbers came in the Coppa Italia. The crowd at Sa

Total prize money for those teams competing in the Champions League and the Europa League is set to vastly increase to £1.6 billion next season.
The decision comes after UEFA and the European Club Association reached a new agreement to cover the period from 2015-2018.
The overall increase of around 32 per cent from the current figures will see Europa League prize money edge closer to that of the Champions League, with Europe's second-tier competition seeing an increase of 65 per cent acros

From Cordoba to Sicily, by way of Madrid, could Palermo attacking midfielder Franco Vazquez's next career destination be London?
Tutto Mercato Web—via Metro.co.uk's Simon Osborn—last week reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur in the 26-year-old. Since then, the Serie A club's president Maurizio Zamparini has suggested a number of Europe's top teams, including Arsenal and Chelsea, are leading the chase for his player, per the Pianeta Milan website (h/t ESPN FC's Richard Jolly).

Last summer, after their capture of David Luiz from Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain were also heavily linked with a move for Real Madrid forward Angel Di Maria, per the Daily Mail's Rory Keane. Twelve months on, although a very talented player, the Argentine would not be the right signing for PSG this summer.
Reports suggested that Di Maria was interested in making a move to Paris, but after spending £50 million on Luiz, Financial Fair Play restrictions meant that there was no money left in

Neymar has another item to add to his ever-expanding trophy cabinet.
On Tuesday, the Barcelona forward picked up the Samba Gold trophy, which is awarded to the best Brazilian player competing in Europe each year.

Imagine being the skipper of a boat in a storm, doing your best to keep it steady while the wind and waves shake the vessel around. And then spotting a jagged fin in the distance, heading slowly but surely for you.
That must be what Carlo Ancelotti feels like at the moment. The man who won Real Madrid their 10th European Cup is under pressure and Zinedine Zidane declaring that he would love to be Real Madrid's coach is just an additional problem for the Italian to worry about.

For Manchester City to fully realise their ambition of being one of the world’s elite clubs, they need to improve their performance in the Champions League. Since they re-entered Europe’s top knockout competition in 2011, their record of two group-stage exits and two last-16 defeats has seen them face criticism. When you have spent as much as City have, better is expected. Belief and confidence appear to be the main issues. City have dazzled when playing in the Premier League in rece

As clubs atop the table position themselves for strong finishes and others look to avoid the line of relegation, action on the pitch is guaranteed to intensify. With that said, let's take a look at players worth targeting for Week 31 on DraftKings.

Chelsea are readying a summer bid for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke, with the Blues having received a boost in their pursuit of the Spaniard after Barcelona pulled out of the race to sign him.
According to Tuttomercato (h/t Jamie Anderson in the Daily Star), Barca's interest in the 23-year-old has cooled, with the Camp Nou giants unwilling to meet his £44 million buy-out clause for fears he "lacks media presence."
Chelsea, on the other hand, are reportedly willing to meet the release cla

The agent of Dutch starlet Memphis Depay says there have been no talks between the player and any interested club amid reported interest from Manchester United.
According to Mark Ogden of The Telegraph, the 21-year-old forward is a “potential target” of the Old Trafford club, and they will send scouts to watch him closely when the Netherlands take on Spain in an international friendly on Tuesday. But his adviser Kees Ploegsma has told Danish publication PLBOLD (h/t ESPN FC) there has
